River’s up behind my place. Someone had a little more excitement on the SV this morning than they’d planned for.
This is about 20 yards downstream of the bridge they must have wrapped.
So much for easy in town float.
I saw them pull it out they said they didn’t need help.

Edit: not sure they’re planning to come back to get it? Huh. I think it would be fun, knowing there are a bunch of people downstream at the park, to wet it down and set it adrift to float downstream, maybe with a cheap pfd wrapped around the seat? Ya know, for fun.

Well, in the interest of science. Fill it up with water and drop a M80 in there, see if it knocks the dent out of it.

Maybe; I mean, I’ve seen Coleman products restored to functionality by far more brutal means than that.

Some friends of mine tried to run Gore canyon in a canoe like that years ago. Their boat looked like that after, maybe worse.

It might straighten itself back out if you leave it out in the sun today. 92 degrees in Marble is fucked.

We also live far far away from fire hydrants and spent almost 2 weeks evacuated last year due to the Cameron peak fire. We were super lucky, Fire was held about 1/2 mile from our neighborhood. The wild land guys went through our property extensively, moving shit off the deck, away from the garage.. They even relocated a pretty large wood pile I had way too close to my house
I think the structural protection crews would absolutely tap into that source if they were sitting on your property. Up in the glenhaven area they were pumping water from wherever they could find it to run through improvised sprinkler systems. In some cases they abandoned their position and left pump systems running, saving homes.
As far as letting the local department sherif know, don’t think that would hurt but you may need to directly relay that information to the wild land team responding to an incident.
After going through this and seeing which houses burned and which ones didn’t, existing mitigation work was a huge factor. Wife and I have spent a bunch of time this spring improving the safe zone directly around our home.

....and the Muddy Slide Fire out in the Toponas area. Given the events of last year and seeing burned down houses from the East Troublesome fire everyday makes it pretty stressful everytime I hear about a fire and see smoke.
And to be clear, fuck the people having illegal campfires during a Stage 1 fire pan. I'm nothing else, it is massively disrespectful to the community that is still dealing with the trauma from last years fires, Nobody thinks it is gonna be their campfire. I'm sure the people that started both the Williams Fork and East Troublesome fires thought the same.

^^^Williams Fork for sure, East Troublesome pretty sure. I've lived here 25+ years. I don't need to wait for the official sources to be pretty sure what happened. In the case of the Williams Fork, a friend of mine txt'd and said that he was in the campground and witnessed the fire get out of control.

Wow, started in the campground. That takes some special effort in fire grates and all.
Wait a minute. The fire maps seem to show the blaze south a ways from the campground so you mean dispersed camping?

Other than the possibility of smoke.
It’s clear in the RFV. But it appears we will be in a SW flow for a while.

Inciweb map has it at 2600 acres now and it has almost crawled over the top of Crooked Creek Pass. The map gets updated more frequently than the text updates.

Mt Thomas/Red Table are super cool and lots of pretty forest around there. Terrain is rugged, no idea what they're going to do to be able to control this to the south before it runs towards Ruedi.
Edit - not sure who all gets power from those transmission lines running through there, imagine that is a major issue as well. Or maybe they've shut it off already.
